The PLNU ACS Student Chapter encouraged and developed interest in chemistry in the youth of the greater San Diego area by visiting Wilson Middle School, performing interactive chemistry demonstrations, and instructing the students at the middle school on the concepts of chemical and physical changes, chemical properties, and the periodic table.  We also invited the AP Chemistry class from Tri-City Christian High School in Vista, CA to visit our school and to do an organic chemistry lab experiment with us.  These students also were presented with research information from the student researchers at PLNU and given a tour of our school.  The students from both of these schools were quizzed on the information we presented, in order to determine how effective our instruction was.  PLNU's Chemistry Club also participated in the 2011 Chem Expo in San Diego by performing exciting chemistry demonstrations in order to cultivate a love for chemistry in the younger generations.  One of the ways our club promoted chemistry on campus was by hosting our annual mole day party, where we made the periodic table out of cookies, enjoyed games and great food together, and celebrated our love for chemistry.
